Hempaper’a Natal Celebration.
In a few days the Pacific Commer¬
cial Advertiser will celebrate Its fiftieth
birthday. Strange as it ma/ seem, aft¬
er half a century of vicissitude this of¬
fice retains much of the type In which
the original paper was set and many of
the odd little cuts that were used to
ornament house to let and shipping
advertisements, says the Pacific Com¬
mercial Advertiser. Even the hand
press upon which the late H. M. Whit¬
ney. founder of the Advertiser, ran off
the first edition still stands in the pub¬
lication office a memento of the day of
small beginnings. Much of the old
material—as much as la available—
will be used In setting a facsimile pa¬
per, and the rest will be as nearly du¬
plicated as possible. All the reading
matter, Including the advertisements,
will again see the light.

and will then proceed to San Domin¬
go, where she will loin the squadron

the failure of the treaty between San¬
to Domingo in the United States sen¬
ate. "

DEAD MEN WERE
STREWN ALONG TRACK
Runaway Car Leave Corpses in
Its Wake.
11 KILLED AND SEVERAL INJURED
Blood and Flesh on Car Wheels Told
of Tragedy and Search Revealed the
Mangled Corpses Scattered Along
the Track for Half a Mile.
Altoona, Pa., July 4.—A runaway
mine car, "flying like the wind down a
mine branch track that runs from Pur¬
itan to Portage just before midnight
Tuesday night, killed eleven men and
Injured several more.
The car had been left standing near
Puritan when the mines closed and
some malicious person loosened the
brakes and permitted the car to speed
down the sharp incline.
The disaster happened on what is
known as Martin’s branch, a stretch
of track four miles long. The car
was stopped one mile west of Por¬
tage, but in the short space of three
miles eleven men were instantly kill¬
ed. The car crashed into a number
of cars standing on the track and
was wrecked. __---------- ; -,f —
An investigation disclosed blood and
particles of clothing on the wheels
and several men were sent back over
the track to see what had started the
car on its wild trip. They had gone
but a short distance when they were
horrified by seeing the mangled re¬
mains of a man lyjng beside the track
doing further on another body was
found. Several hundred feet up the
Incline two bodies, horribly mangled,
were lying on the track.
On and still on, the searchers went,
and by the time they had arrived at
Puritan eleven bodies had been found
terribly mutilated.
The accident Is one of toe mbst
peculiar that ever occurred In the
history of railroading in this section.
More lives had been snuffed out at
one time upon the railroad, but never
have the deaths been so evenly dis¬
tributed. - -- ~---------

SECOND AND FIFTH I

Governor Terwffi Monday through
Adjutant General Harris, issued
ders governing Georgia’s troops of
the national guard during the en¬
campment and maneuvers at Chick¬
amauga, August fifth totwelvth incln
sive.
Owing to the refusal of the rail¬
roads to grant a one-oent a mile rate,
it was at first thought that the Fifth
regiment would be ordered to remain
at home and the recent order of the
governor is highly gratifying to the
Georgia troops.
The quota of this State’s troops
will consist of three regiments, the
First, Second, Fifth, of twelve com¬
panies each, only forty men and three
officers, including two white cooks
who are enlisted will be aHowed to
go with each company.
